Best player of the Russian national team in recent seasons Maxim Mikhaylov, spoke about how to spent holidays. But in this case the diagonal of Zenit Kazan emphasized on the training he did not forget, even on vacation.

- I'm well rested, - Mikhailov said modestly. - Went to Dubai. Ten days of doing nothing, and then gradually began to study and prepare for the upcoming season. During the rest had to go to two weddings, home, friends had seen. But do not forget about training.

- How much more difficult to enter into a training rhythm?

- Based on last year is not easy (laughs).

- Probably not easy to start training when not so long ago you played for the club?

- In principle, since we have going on from year to year. So this season differs only that it Olympic. A World League has always started almost immediately after the end of the championship.

- Now to play for Russian team extra motivation is needed?

- No, you do that. This team, here comes one of their own volition.

- And in the subconscious mind will not save power of London?

- I'm not such person. And the mistakes of their learning. For many examples in world sport. And not just in volleyball. When you save power, as a rule fails the tournament.

- We know, what besides volleyball you take a great interest in other kinds of sports, whether it was possible to watch them during holiday?

- Yes, I watch English Premier League. I like how they play football.

- How is basketball?

- I like to watch NBA games, but during the holidays because of problems with the Internet and lack of time, just could not follow the regular season.

It's because at the end of the day: the video challenge system is still HUMAN controlled. Some people are just blind... or biased...

This is just another embarrassment for the sport of volleyball. Even with replay technology, they still somehow manage to mess things up.

And to make things worse, the referee had the nerve to give them a red card for outrage that was LEGITIMATE. Stubborn referee! Even if Lokomotiv will lose the match in the end, I'm sure they would have preferred that loss instead of being cheated out of a point. Reply

If Tomkom is kept for next season (though that seems unlikely in my opinion). Fenerbache should think of getting one of her younger NT member as a receiver/wing spiker back up. Even though they aren't as tall as their European counter part, they can receive well and attack too. I'm sure they would be cheaper to higher than most other European options or are they? lol...And they already have a connection with Nootsara, so maybe they can play some fast balls every now and then to score a few quick points too.
